Frequently asked questions
1. Do I still use the same amount of soap in the dishwasher, clothes washer and showers now that I have a water softener?
No, the Water Quality Association states soft water can save up to 55% on detergent use. Start with using half the amount of
detergent previously used, this can be adjusted up or down based on preference. Soft water helps fabrics last longer, because
hardness minerals combined with soap can make fabric fibers brittle.
2. What is the health impact of drinking soft water? The sodium added to water by softening is a non-issue most of the time,
even for people on a sodium-restricted diet. One could soften water with up to 75 grains per gallon hardness with sodium chloride and
still be well within the US Food and Drug Administration’s labeling of a “Low Sodium” beverage. People on a sodium-restricted diet
should consult their physician.
3. Should I use soft water for my plants? Some plants may be sensitive to even minute amounts of sodium. We suggest using
hard water for watering plants, often a kitchen cold faucet is plumbed for hard water or the outside faucets are usually plumbed for hard
water. If not, you can place your softener on bypass and fill water containers at the closest sink. Water from a reverse osmosis system
can always be used to water plants.
4. Will water spots disappear now that I have soft water? Water spots caused by hardness scale will disappear with a functioning
water softener. However, other natural minerals dissolved in the water in high enough concentrations may cause spotting. These
mineral spots will be much easier to wipe away compared to hardness spotting.
5. Will soft water cause my water or ice cubes to look or taste different? Most people can tell the difference in taste between
hard and soft water, it is a personal preference. Ice cubes will appear the same, they may look cloudy due to air in water or dis-
solved minerals, and this will not change because now they are made with softened water. A reverse osmosis drinking water
system will provide clearer ice cubes.

Soft Water Basics
Hardness
Excess amounts of calcium and magnesium in water produce
hardness. A water softener removes the majority of calcium and
magnesium to produce softened water.
Hardness is measured in terms of grains. (This grain weight
is derived from the average weight of a dry grain of wheat.)
When your water is tested the grain hardness is calculated and
expressed as grains per gallon (gpg). This calculation, as well
as the number of people in your household will help determine
what type and size of water softener will most efficiently soften
your water.
Your water softener contains an ion exchange
media (sometimes called resin) which removes the hardness from
water as it flows through the softener tank. Eventually so much
hardness collects on the exchange media that the softener can no
longer soften water. At this point it is considered "exhausted".
Regeneration is now necessary.
Regeneration
To regenerate the exchange media, it must be rinsed with a
brine (salt) solution. This removes the hardness from the exchange
media and replaces it with sodium. The exchange media is then
ready to remove hardness from water. The hardness minerals
and excess brine solution are rinsed down the drain.
During the regeneration cycle the softener is also back-
washed. This reversing of the normal flow of water serves to
remove sediment which may have accumulated during the soft-
ening process due to the filtering action of the exchange media.
Backwashing also loosens and fluffs up the bed of exchange
media to insure that during regeneration the brine solution will
come into contact with all the media. Figure 1
Maintenance of your softener
Salt: Salt to a softener is what gasoline is to a car. Not only must a softener have salt, but it should be the proper type to insure
efficient recharging of the unit. Ask your dealer what type of salt may best suit your needs. Always have an adequate supply of salt on hand.
Check the salt level of your brine tank every couple of weeks initially to determine how much salt you use - this will depend on how much water
you use. As a rule of thumb, with 20 gpg hard water, about a 1/2 lb. of salt per person per day is used. In other words, a family of four
uses 60 lbs. of salt a month. Fill the tank approximately three-fourths full, with a minimum of 12” of salt. If your household does not use
much water, do not fill your salt keeper over 1/2 full, salt bridging may occur in the brine tank. This may result in hard water due to ineffective
regeneration. DO NOT USE Block Salt when the A-200 control is programmed with a brine tank prefill. Block salt does not dissolve quick
enough to provide a good regeneration.
Cleaning Salt Tank: The salt tank may require periodic cleaning. Inspect the salt tank at least once a year for buildup of insoluble
materials. It is recommended to periodically clean the salt tank no matter what kind of salt you are using. See page 15, Miscellaneous #2
for details on cleaning.
REMEMBER: Salt is the fuel to run your water softener. Buy the best clean salt available.
Operating Condition
Your water conditioner has been designed to adequately
reduce up to 100 grains per gallon of hard -
ness as well as up to 2 ppm of ferrous bicarbonate
iron. This is iron that is dissolved in an oxygen-free water supply.
It is not visible to the eye in a freshly drawn sample because the
water appears clear. But upon standing in contact with air, the
ferrous iron will become oxidized to the ferric state and start to
precipitate as a reddish brown floc. It can then be seen and if
allowed to remain in the supply will cause discolored water. In
order for your conditioner to remove the iron, air (oxygen) must
4
be kept from coming in contact with water until after it has been
passed through the water conditioner. In some cases, additional
equipment may be required to treat water supplies having special
characteristics, such as: ferric hydroxide iron, iron bacteria, low
pH, taste and odors, etc. If any question should exist, contact
your dealer.
This water softener is not intended to be used for treating
water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after treatment.

Pre-installation Checklist
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
Water Pressure: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure
(psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum 125 psi.
Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem
with sand or sediment in the water. (This problem occasionally
occurs in public water supplies.)If the water is not filtered before
being softened, the sand and sediment may plug up the water
softener restricting the flow through the resin bed. This problem
often requires rebedding of the mineral tank. Note: Well and/or
pump problems affecting the operation of the softener are repairs
that are not covered under warranty. To prevent theseunneces-
sary, and expensive repairs that are not covered under warranty,
we recommend the installation of an in-line filter system ahead
of a water softener.
Electrical: A continuous 110 volt 60 cycle current supply is
required. Make certain the current supply is uninterrupted and
cannot be turned off with another switch. All electrical connec-
tions must be connected per local codes. Surge protection is
recommended with all electric controls.
Existing Plumbing: Condition of existing plumbing must be
free from lime and iron build-up. Piping that is built-up heavily
with lime and/or iron must be replaced. If piping is blocked with
iron, additional equipment must be installed ahead of the water
conditioner to correct the problem.
Drain Line: The conditioner should be located close to a drain.
Avoid overhead drain lines if possible to prevent back pressure
on the brine injector. Overhead drains are not to exceed 8 feet
above the floor and no more than 20 feet in length. The pipe
size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”. Backwash
flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require
1” drain line.
Bypass Valves: Always provide for the installation of a bypass
valve.
Softening: It is recommended that the conditioner be installed
to soften both the hot and cold water supply. A separate hard
water faucet may be plumbed for drinking purposes if desired.
Outside faucets should be left on hard water.
Caution: Water temperature is not to exceed 110°F; the condi-
tioner cannot be subject to freezing conditions, or to a vacuum
due to loss of pressure (such as a water main break).

Installation Instruction
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes)
CAUTION:
• Do not use vaseline, oils or other hydrocarbon lubricants or
spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used
on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of
lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
• Do notusepipedopeorother sealants onthreads. Onlyteflon
tape may be used on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary
on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.
• The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of 3/4”.
Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess
of 20’ require 1” drain line.
1. Place the conditioner where you want to install it, making
sure it is on a clean, level and firm base.
2. Do all necessary plumbing (inlet to inlet, outlet to outlet and
drain line to drain). The control valve, fittings and/or bypass
are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments
but are not designed to support the weight of a system or
the plumbing.
3. When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and
outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and
then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering
or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring.
Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should
be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid
getting primer andsolvent cement on any part of the o-rings,
split rings, bypass valve or control valve.
4. A jumper ground wire may be installed between the
inlet and outlet pipe whenever the metallic continuity of
a water distribution piping system is interrupted. Install
grounding strap on metal pipes.

5. The drain connection may be made using either 5/8” polytube
(See figure 6a, page 6) or a 3/4” female adapter. If soldering,
joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the
drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the
drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes
that are connected on the drain line control fitting. Failure
to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow
control fitting.
6. The brine refill flow control assembly is installed in an easy
to access refill elbow located on top of the control valve. The
refill flow control assembly is attached to the control valve
with a locking clip. The locking clip allows the elbow to rotate
270 degrees sothe outlet can be orientated towards the salt
tank.
7. Connect the brine line found in the brine tank to the brine
connection on the control valve. The control valve has a
standard refill elbow to which a 3/8” flexible tube can be
connected, see figure 6a, page 6. (An optional elbow can
be ordered which accommodates a 1/2” flexible tube for a
high regenerant draw rate situation). Both elbows use the
same refill flow control and retainer. Make sure the floor is
clean beneath the salt tank and that it is level and smooth.
8. A 1/2” (inside diameter) gravity drain line may be connected to
the overflow fitting on the side of the brine tank. This overflow
is in case of a malfunction in the brine shut off. If the unit is
installed where water may flow in the event of an overflow
and cause water damage, connect a length of flexible tubing
and run to a drain below the level of the overflow. (Do not
connect the tubing to the drain line on the control valve.
Do not run tubing above overflow height at any point.)

Programming
General information
The A-200 control valve is the “brain” of your water soft-
ener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with solid
state microprocessor.
The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display
and five push buttons which are used in displaying and program-
ming the water softener settings.
Initial Start Up
The initial start up will probably be done by the technician install-
ing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step
you through the process.
1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain
line and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.
2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See
figure 3 page 5) Turn on the main water supply. Open
a cold soft water faucet to flush the piping of any air
and/or foreign material. Run until the water is clear.
3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank.
4. Now plug thetransformer into a 110-volt receptacle. (Be
certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5seconds the
control will automatically align itself into the softening
mode and display will automatically alternate between
time of day, gal/min and gallons remaining. (Figure 8,
page 7).
5. Set the time of day by pushing clock button (figure 9,
page 8) and using and buttons.
6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the “First” position. (Note:
Depending on how the system is programmed it could
read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). Keep pushing
REGEN button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right
hand corner of display. Slowly place the by-pass into
the “diagnostic mode” (see fig 4, page 5). Run water
to the drain until it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve
to the by-pass position (fig 3, page 5). Push REGEN
button until “unit is back to softening mode.
7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for
3 seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-
Figure 7
wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into the
“Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly fill
the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water starts
coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass inlet
valve all the way and allow to run out the drain until
water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into the
“normal operation” mode by opening the outlet side of
by-pass valve, figure 2, page 5.
8. Press the REGEN button until LED display says “BRINE”.
Loosen the brine line from the top of the safety brine
valve in the brine tank. Place finger over the end of the
tube to check for suction. If no suction, see trouble-
shooting guide. (See #11, Page 17) If proper suction,
reattach brine tube to safety brine valve, and allow it to
draw water down to the bottom of the air check, (figure
6b, page 6).
9. Press REGEN button again until LED once again dis-
plays “BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water
once again runs clear at the drain.
10. Press REGEN button again until “RINSE” is displayed.
Allow rinsecycle to run its full course. While the rinse
cycle is finishing, this would be a good time to load your
brine tank with salt.
11. Once the rinse cycle has finished the softener control
will return to the softening cycle. The LED screen will
scroll between “TIME/GPM/GALLONS REMAINING”.
12. Next set your softeners water hardness, days override and
regeneration time settings (see figure 10a, page 8).
Your programming is now complete.

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low
water usage is when the household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is
regenerating, untreated water will be supplied.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step
of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs
through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration
has been completed.
